Tymnet is a nationwide network that allows people to access their computer from
far distances.  I believe it is DOD sponsored but I know it is restricted to
a small group of users.  Basically, a user dials an access number, then enters
his/her password, and then connects to a desired host.  Tymnet is not unlike
Telenet.
